Creating model query subjects based on existing objects
You can select existing model objects and merge them into a new model query subject. This
means that you can reuse existing metadata to quickly create query subjects.
About this task
The objects that you can merge include
- Relational data source query subjects and their shortcuts
- Model query subjects and their shortcuts
- Query items, filters, and calculations in model and data source query subjects
- Relationships and relationship shortcuts between model and data source query subjects
You can merge any number of the same type of objects into a new query in a single operation. The merge always creates a new model query subject.
The new query subject contains any filters that exist in the original query subject.
Procedure
- Ctrl+click the objects that you want to merge into a single query subject.
- Click Actions, Merge in New Query Subject.
